The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 164
Things can be traced back to five years ago, when Inner Mongolia was in the golden age of development, the most eye-catching was Ordos, with large-scale coal development and rapid economic development, many people used to pan for gold, and it became a well-known top [-] counties overnight.
The rise of Ordos has stimulated other places to carry out economic construction, not to be outdone.

Jining is relatively remote and its economy is developing slowly, but seeing that other places have risen up, it is not to be outdone. In the context of great economic development, it has become a famous fur city all over the country, and it has also caused a sensation.

The abnormal rise of the economy will inevitably bring bubbles, and when the bubbles will burst.The good times didn't last long. First, Ordos began to shatter, and then, like dominoes, the economies of surrounding counties and cities also became depressed.

When the Fur City attracted investment, it was not only the fur merchants from Tongerbao who came, but also many from Wenzhou, as well as from other regions.Stimulated by various preferential policies, these merchants flocked to Jining and invested in decorating their stores one after another. Some pretended to be one but not two, in order to occupy space in advance and lay the foundation for the future.

Fur is a high-end product, so the matching decoration can't be lowered, let alone 500,000 for a store of [-] square meters.

Still have to buy.

Of course, everyone in the fur business has money, and 800,000 is nothing. They earn back after a year, and some even earn millions in half a year.

Fur City only had a booming business in the first three months of its opening, and then it fell into a slump.Merchants came out of the joy of counting money, but had to face the embarrassing situation of not being able to buy a single item in a month.

Apart from the merchants, there are not many customers in the huge fur city. Occasionally, one of them is an insider, either a security guard or a cleaner.

These businessmen who are going to do a lot of work when they come have to face a reality-withdrawal, they have already invested millions of dollars, and they are reluctant;

The two-year preferential period passed quickly, and Fur City began to collect rent.

Merchants are already losing money, how can they pay rent?It’s fine if you don’t pay the rent, but you can move out. It’s impossible for you to use such a big fur city for nothing.

The merchants wanted to leave, but they lost too much money and were unwilling.I want to extend the preferential period for one year, sell some of them, and reduce the loss a little.But the fur city has already been contracted to an individual, and it is an individual business, and there is no way to get a discount. If you don't pay the money, you will move, and if you don't move, the door will be closed.

One doesn't want to leave without paying the money, and the other closes the door if he can't collect the money. The two confront each other, and the conflict will naturally escalate.

Last month, the owner of a merchant went out for a few days. When he came back, he saw that the store door was really sealed. He was anxious on the spot and had an argument with the internal security guard, which led to a physical conflict. In the end, the owner's leg was broken, and a security guard cut his cheek. Both were hospitalized. .

It's no surprise that things like this happen every few days.

When Sun Yucong called on the merchants from Tong Erbao to join the chamber of commerce, they were from the province after all.

To join the Chamber of Commerce, you have to pay the membership fee. Many merchants came here alone, without the awareness of registering for a group to keep warm. There are very few participants, only a dozen or so, because of the face of fellow villagers, and only paid for one year. money, and no renewal fee after that.

This time when something happened, I remembered that there was still a chamber of commerce, so I called Sun Yucong for help.Boss Sun knew something about their situation, but he couldn't solve the situation.

But the merchant always called him, there was no other way, in order to deal with it, he asked Gu Yi to go to Jining.

"You won't solve the problem even if you go there," Old Tan said.

"If it doesn't solve the problem, it stands to reason that the Chamber of Commerce can ignore this matter, but out of face, I have to go there to understand the situation, and then communicate with the Jining government in the name of the Chamber of Commerce to see if I can make up for some losses." Gu Yi said.

"That's enough. There are many merchants, not one or two, and it's impossible to make up for it." Old Tan said.

"Try it—" Gu Yi made a long sound, looking helpless.

Lao Tan accompanied him with a smile.

Not long after Gu Yi left, the owner of Cordyceps Chicken White came.

He sent chickens to the restaurant, and when he heard that Lao Tan was sick, he asked the location of the clinic and bought fruit.

This made Lao Tan very embarrassed, and he thought he had to get well soon, or else someone would come, not to mention the trouble, it was just a favor.

The debt of favor is the hardest to repay.

Boss Bai sat for a while and said something to Lao Tan.

He had an uncle and a sister. Her husband died in the first two years, leaving her sister and nephew at home, living in a panic.My elder sister has been washing dishes in the restaurant. My child just graduated from junior high school. He did not study well and failed to pass the high school entrance exam.

Lao Tan agreed without saying a word. Boss Bai was very grateful and said that he would send the child in two days.

"Boss Bai, how many chickens do you have? Can you offer them?" Old Tan asked worriedly.

"Don't worry Mr. Tan, I promise you can pay." Boss Bai patted his chest and said, "You only saw half of the chicken farm you went to, and my brother is also raising it on the other side of the mountain. Can we two brothers pay for you?"

Old Tan smiled and said, "I can offer it."

"I will expand the breeding during the Chinese New Year. The store in your provincial capital uses a lot, so you need to raise more." Boss Bai said happily.

"Let's raise more. The second store in Hohhot will open during the Chinese New Year, and the consumption is not small. I plan to open eight to ten in Hohhot. I will buy all the chickens from you. Your current quantity is guaranteed to be insufficient." Lao Tan said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Tan, look at the mountain. I paid for it. After the new year, I will hire two more people, and a crop of [-] will be enough for you. Besides, there is my younger brother, who raises more than me."

"That's good."

"I have to thank Mr. Tan, if it weren't for you, I would lose money this year, and I wouldn't want to raise it after the Chinese New Year." Boss Bai said sincerely.

"We are destined to cooperate and win-win. Besides, money is not earned by one person. If you earn ten yuan for a chicken, you can also ask me to earn ten yuan. We are both good. Don't worry, my family is a chain store. It's just started and it makes money. The days are coming. Our cooperation is long-term." Lao Tan said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, long-term, long-term." Boss Bai nodded.

After Boss Bai left, Zhang Yu and Yan Zi came.

With a happy smile on her face, Yanzi was obviously proud of the little life in her belly.Yes, can people in their forties be unhappy when they are pregnant? A woman is the most complete and beautiful only when the brilliance of motherhood appears, and there will be no regrets in life.

The two chatted with Lao Tan for a while, and Zhang Yu reported the progress of the renovation in the past two days to Lao Tan, and then the two left happily.

After the three waves left, Old Tan felt a little tired, so he lay down.

Lao Tan's blood pressure is high, and blood can easily leak out of capillaries under pressure, so hypertensive patients don't like bronchiectasis, and hematemesis is serious.Others stopped vomiting blood in three days, but Old Tan took a week.

It has been infused with a bottle for five days, and there is still blood when coughing and rinsing.The doctor told him to go to the cardiology and brain department of the hospital for a detailed examination after he recovers, because there are many types of high blood pressure, to see which type it is, so that he can take the right medicine.If Chinese medicine can regulate it, it is best to take Chinese medicine, which can completely reduce it.

Lao Tan accepted the doctor's suggestion, and he himself had a plan to take good care of his body.

Put on the last bottle of medicine, it's already one o'clock in the afternoon.

After lunch, Yaru told the younger brother to tidy up the toilets, and then took the cooked dumplings to go out.

"Yaru, wait a minute, I'll go with you." Wang Yanli called Yaru to stop, and put the crisper into the refrigerator.

Jaru stopped.

At this time, Mulan walked in and saw that Yaru was holding a packing box in her hand. Knowing that she was going to see Lao Tan, she asked, "Sister, how many days does it take for the boss to fight?"

"Soon, the doctor said five days." Yaru replied.

"Hurry up, he's not here, he's lost, I don't know what to do," Mulan said.

"He's in Hohhot, what if he's not here? I think you're doing well." Yaru laughed.

"It's two different things, sickness and not sickness are different, two feelings."

"Are you afraid that he won't get better, and don't care about the hotel?"

"It feels like—"

"Don't worry, it's okay, I'll be alive and kicking in a few days."

When Yaru and Wang Yanli arrived at the clinic, Lao Tan had almost finished his bottle and was sitting on the bed chatting with the doctor.

His face is ruddy now, full of energy, and he doesn't look sick at all.If you observe carefully, you will find that you are a little short of breath when you speak, and the wet rales in the chest cavity come out along the trachea, making a weak "rustling" sound.

Soon, the bottle was finished, the three came out of the clinic, Wang Yanli went back to the dormitory, Yaru and Lao Tan went back to the apartment.

These few days Yaru lived here, got up in the morning to make breakfast, and served Lao Tan for dinner.Then they went downstairs together, took Lao Tan to the clinic, and watched him go to work in the hotel after being put on a bottle.

At noon, I went to the clinic to pick up Lao Tan, sat down to eat together, and waited for Lao Tan to take the medicine after the meal, then lay on the sofa for a while, and went to work in the hotel at five o'clock.

Come back early in the evening, the food is brought from the restaurant as at noon, the two of them have eaten, Lao Tan sits on the bed and watches TV, she cleans up the table, washes the dishes, cleans the house, washes clothes, and serves Lao Tan to take medicine like a wife .

After everything is done, sit next to Lao Tan for a while, chatting.Pick the main things that happened in the restaurant and tell Lao Tan happily, and Lao Tan will ask some questions, and she will answer them one by one.

According to Lao Tan's idea, he went to the restaurant every day after finishing the bottle, and then walked around the decoration site. Yaru didn't let him, and told him that recuperation is recuperation, so don't do anything and don't think about it to get better quickly.If one intestine hangs all over the place, not only will the job not be done well, but the illness will not be cured, and it is better not to be anxious to ignite the fire.

Old Tan thought about it too, so he advised himself to recuperate with peace of mind.
